Honestly the best boutique hotel experience we’ve ever had. The US needs to take some pointers from Locke. We’ll be staying with them in other cities for sure. Kieren and the other hosts were super helpful. The place was immaculate and the coffee and food on premise were world class.

Medieval lighting

The apartment was really nice and spacious, a bonus was the large electric fan in the lounge area. The major downfall of this apartment and the reason I would never stay here again is the lighting in the apartment, I have never stayed in a hotel with such dark and dingy lighting. was horrendous, any period of time spent in the room makes you feel like you are staying in a medieval castle. The hotel, room, staff, facilities are excellent but the poor lighting lets the hotel down.

Great stay!

I stayed in a studio for 2 nights and had a great stay! The room and en-suite were clean and modern and had a lovely rainfall shower and great amenities. I would have loved if there was there was a microwave, but i survived without it! Was very handy being able to cook in the studio and there was a tesco express directly across the road. Staff were very friendly and helpful too! I will say it was an interesting choice to have cobblestones in the entry to the building and at reception, especially when most people would have rolling suitcases with them! I dont think this would be the most accessible place to stay if you have any mobility issues or if youre a wheelchair user. (There were stairs to get to the lift and the cobblestones in the entry of the building would definitely hinder you) Overall a great stay, and i'd definitely come again
